2016 Tail of the Dragon V September 22nd-25th: Registration

[PainIs4ThaWeak]

I'd never be ballsy enough to drive a, what is probably, 4000lbs worth of automatic transmission sports car spiritedly on mountain roads.

But I mean, I do have the 9thgen Accord v6, and while its decent (with a ham-fisted driver behind the wheel), I don't think I'd have that much fun in it up there. (All season tires, and OEM brake pads :\ )

i took my sedan on the dragon in stock form the first year, granted i dont have the NSX to compare to but it was pretty fun

The Challenger is around 4200lbs iirc, and it had bald tires and brakes that overheated and pulsates very quickly, but still think it was one of the most fun cars to drive there, for all the wrong reasons.

Also averaged 11mpg the whole trip.

I might be able to do a friday night - sunday morning in the spring if I'm still living in NC.

Found another pic of me and @Nix in the Challenger
